Caoimh - kweeva

Siobhán - Shivawn

Sinead - Shin-ade

Níamh - Neev

Grainne - Grawn-ya

Sorcha - Surka

Bláthnaid - Blawnid

Clíodnadh - Clee-ona

Órlaith - Oar-la

Ciara - Kee-ra

All these names make sense when one understands Irish grammar and pronunciations, but I can absolutely see how people elsewhere would struggle with these.

Oh... I always though Siobhan was really pretty, but it turns out I was just pronouncing it wrong.
